Ethics approval and consent to participate
: The Cornell University and University of Notre Dame Institutional Review Boards (IRB) reviewed the CAFES study and determined that it was exempt from IRB regulations known as the Common Rule, found at 45 CFR 46. The exempt research was fully reviewed by the IRB to ensure that it qualified for exemption and followed ethical principles, but procedures found in the Common Rule, including informed consent, were not required. CAFES development and reliability testing data were collected via observation of public school cafeteria spaces and lunch trays. No primary data were collected from elementary school students, and all schools gave permission to participate in the study. The student-level demographic data used in the testing of CAFES were secondary and de-identified. The nature and use of that secondary data involved minimal risk.
